Ding!
[Activation mission detected as complete. Ten Thousand Worlds Death-Courting System officially activated!]
[Newbie Gift Pack has been distributed. Please claim it yourself.]
Hiding in his room, not daring to make any suspicious moves, Shinomiya Aoha was browsing through the system in his mind.
Though successfully activating his golden finger was cause for celebration, wasn't this system name a bit too, well, that?
However, carefully recalling the first mission he'd completed, it was truly damn death-courting!
This damn system's name really wasn't wrong!
After agonising over the system name, Aoha started complaining about the system interface.
From what he knew (from reading certain sites' system novels), those systems should all be high-class and sophisticated, right? How come when it came to his system, the interface became a graveyard?
Moreover, right in the centre stood a tombstone. Looking closely, well, good grief!
It bore his name!
He wasn't dead yet, so why was his tombstone already erected?
"Damn system! Damn system, come out! Let's have a good chat!" Aoha howled frantically in his mind.
As a result, several large characters popped up before his eyes.
"System is dead. Burn paper offerings for inquiries."
Go to hell!
Stuck with such a brain-dead system, Aoha was truly trembling with rage.
"If the heart is ice-clear, the sky cannot shock, if the heart is ice-clear, the sky cannot shock. I won't stoop to this damn system's level. Yeah, let me click in and look."
Then, with a thought, he touched his own tombstone. How the hell was this so awkward?!
Whoosh! The distant view zoomed to close-up, the tombstone magnified many times, and all the small text on it became clearly visible.
[Remains]: Shinomiya Aoha
[Achievements in Life]: Unreliable Brat
[Burial Objects]: Newbie Gift Pack X1
[Remains' Aptitude]: Fighter jet among trash, suggest burying on the spot.
Trembling, trembling, trembling.
After reading all this, Shinomiya Aoha not only shook all over with rage, but his face turned iron-blue, his teeth nearly ground to powder!
"Damn! System! I'm irreconcilable with you!"
Like a Parkinson's patient, he clicked open the [Burial Objects] section again, then took a deep breath and opened the Newbie Gift Pack.
If Obito wanted to kill him, this Newbie Gift Pack was probably his only possible means of turning the tables.
So during the opening process, he was so nervous he temporarily forgot about being repeatedly humiliated by this damn system.
Newbie Gift Pack opening complete.
Randomly obtained three [Burial Objects], wishing you a pleasant death-courting experience. Remember to give a five-star review when you get down there~
Ding!
[Congratulations on obtaining [Inferior Self-Healing Body], [Thorn Halo], [Hardening].]
Aoha hurriedly checked these three burial objects!
First, the Inferior Self-Healing Body could consume stamina to accelerate wound healing, but the LV0 Inferior Self-Healing Body only doubled the healing speed.
What use was doubling it!
Wounds that normally took two weeks to heal would now heal in one week.
Fine, better than nothing.
The second was LV0 Thorn Halo, a passive effect.
Effect: 10% of enemy melee physical attacks would cause rebound damage.
Seemed, pretty good?
Like hell!
Maybe this thing would be useful later, but for his current situation, it was absolutely no help!
If Obito slashed him once, he'd die. Whether it rebounded or not made no difference!
And the last one, [Hardening].
Effect: Consumes stamina to increase body hardness.
Just a very ordinary ability.
Look at these three drawn [Burial Objects]: self-healing, rebound, defence. Complete set!
This was encouraging him to go further and further down the death-courting road!
However, no matter what, this [Hardening] was quite practical. At critical moments, it could save his life!
"Phew."
After feeling a tiny bit more secure (about the size of a hair strand), Aoha researched the system again. After confirming he had no other trump cards, he fell into a drowsy sleep.
The next day, when Aoha groggily opened his eyes, he was immediately startled!
Because Obito was standing by his bedside holding Madara's scythe, looking deathly still, as if he might send him to the afterlife at any moment!
Aoha couldn't see through what Obito was thinking right now. He swallowed with difficulty.
For a moment, neither spoke first. The air began gradually congealing.
"Am I going to die?"
After thinking it over, Aoha gritted his teeth and broke the silence first. He feared that continuing this stalemate would really get him chopped down with one slash.
Watching his frightened appearance, Obito lowered his eyelids, then slowly spoke: "Though Madara said killing you wouldn't matter, I want to give you a choice."
"First choice: I'll seal your brain to prevent intelligence from leaking out, then have White Zetsu send you away from here. After that, whether you live or die has nothing to do with me."
"Second choice: work for me, but you might die even faster."
"Now, choose."
After hearing these two choices, Aoha immediately breathed a sigh of relief. It seemed his previous efforts hadn't been wasted. Though Obito had turned evil, out of consideration for their previous relationship, he decided to spare him.
As for which path to choose, was there any need to think? Of course, the first one.
Ding!
[Death-Courting Mission Released!]
[Mission Name: I Want to Be a Bad Guy]
[Content Description: Choose to help Obito. (Faced with a close friend's request, how can you retreat!)]
[Phase One Mission Reward: Shabby Wooden Treasure Chest X1]
[Mission Failure: System immediately self-destructs on the spot (Ah~ I want to die so badly~)]
[Phase Two: ??? (Not yet activated)]
What the hell!
Seeing the suddenly appearing death-courting mission, Aoha nearly spat out a mouthful of old blood!
Was he being allowed to live or not!
First confronting Uchiha Madara, then evil Uchiha Obito. The Uchiha surname was simply cursed!
Watching his expression shift between light and dark, confusion flashed through Obito's heart. Logically speaking, he shouldn't be hesitating about anything. Just directly choose the first one, wouldn't that be fine?
This was already the only thing he could do to help him.
However, several seconds later.
"I choose the second one!"
When Aoha shouted out this decision through gritted teeth, Obito was clearly stunned for an instant.
Wait, why bother!
Living well, isn't that good?
"Are you sure? Choosing this path, you might not live to see tomorrow."
Obito's expression dropped, practically pointing at his nose, telling him to choose the first option.
Meanwhile, Aoha felt even more like crying. I know, I know all of this!
But the more you emphasise danger, the less choice this damn system gives me!
I'm begging you, please stop talking!
